Actress Nkechi Blessing and her boyfriend, Opeyemi Falegan, have at last made amends. This comes four years after their tumultuous split.
On Saturday night, the couple reconciled on a TikTok live where they discussed the events leading up to their well-reported acrimonious fallout.
The actress revealed that they have been in negotiations since February 2026 while calling for a public apology from Opeyemi. She also described how trolls were still using some of the disparaging remarks he made about her during their dispute.
“I told you in February that if we must do this, you have to apologise to me because what you said years ago, some irrelevant nitwits still used it to insult me yesterday. That is to tell you that the internet never forgets.”
While noting that they both had faults, the US-based army officer apologised to Nkechi for speaking ill of her.
“From the bottom of my heart to the depth of my soul, I’m sorry, Nkechi. That’s in the past.”

The duo fell apart in April 2022 after throwing accusations at each other online.
In September 2022, Nkechi, in an interview on the “Your View” show, claimed that she entered into a relationship with Opeyemi to get back at her ex.
In response to the interview, Opeyemi accused the actress of dating him for his money and sex.
He further vowed never to reconsider their relationship: “Once I have a reason to go, I will never find an excuse to come back.”
Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday has talked about some of the difficulties she faced early in her career.
Speaking at The Honest Bunch podcast, the movie star disclosed that ridiculous screenplays were her biggest obstacle.
She remembers being offered a script to sleep with a dog, but she turned it down because she thought accepting it as her first Nollywood job would damage her reputation.
“Despite being a newcomer, I was given a script to sleep with a dog. I rejected it because I can’t start off my career like that. Imagine my first ever movie, I am sleeping with a dog. It doesn’t make sense. It is going to be a tag because whatever you start with is what people would associate you with. I didn’t want to be renowned as someone who sleeps with dogs in movies.
“So, I rejected that script. But immediately, I threw it down, so many girls grabbed it. I’m not sure any of them are in the limelight today,” she stated.
Nkechi Blessing said that after she left the production venue, she met veteran Nollywood filmmaker Emeka Duru, who offered to work with her.
She added that Duru eventually allowed her to make her debut in the film ‘Through The Fire’ by Imem Isong.
